Post Oflicc Apjioiniizeiils.--Among the
(‘0nfiI'n‘-ailUllS of app-ointmerits made by the

lowing:

The imports into Havana ofsoinc of the
leading articles of consumption, amounted,
in I839, to eight and a half millions. The
principal American itcm is, of course, flour.
of which 672,000, barrels were imported, at
$18 per barrel, $l.ll4,200. The aggre-

common bottom, and bya common effoit,
hope to gain the haven of prosperity from
which we have been taken .by unskilful pi-
lots. lfour ability equalled our deep and
abiding conviction of the great importance
ofthe general’ diffusion of intelligence, we
would not make this appeal to the patriotism
and liberality of our political brethren. If it
were our sole duty to supply our own re-
spective districts with intellectual food, that
duty would b-:_chcerfully performed by our
unaided efforts. But there are many waste
places ofoui‘ political Zion to be built up.——
One ll.-llf of the Congressional Districts in
the Union'ai'e represented by our political
opponents. These Districts are flooded
with '.‘ Globes,” speeches and pamphlets
teeming with sophistry and falsehood ——
Some entire States are in t'iis condition.-
Here, then, is a vast region sitting in the
gloom and darkness of political death. It
looks to us, and to you, to be illumined with
the light oftrntli. The reflection that many
of these Districts we:re.ra.rri.ed by very slight
majorities, and that different results would.
in all probability, have been produced, had
not the electors been deceived with false in
formation,'should add frosh impulse to the
discharge of our duty. I

In conclusion, permit me most earnestly
to urge upon you the great importance of ef-
ficient action and of enlarged liberality.

Captain Ty)‘-rell.—On Wednesday, the
26th ult. I met in Hartford, Conn., with Mr.
Seth Holden, of Barre, Mass. who informed
me he was on his return from an unsuccess-
ful search of several days, on Long Island

I shore, for the body of ’.\'I‘. Lee, who was lost

It’. the steatnboat Lexington.

Mr. Howe mentioned that he had seen
and coriver-sed with Capt. Tyrrell, who stated
unequivocally that his only passenger was
an old man from down cast, who had since
returned home. Suspccting that Capt. Tyr-
rell concealed the truth Mr. Howe, on mak-
ing further inquiries in the neighborhood
of the-place, where [believe the sloop be-
longed, ascertained that the only p'rlSS8l'l
ger on board Capt. Tyrrel’s sloop, was a
Mr. Henry Rogers, aged I9 or 20 ye’ rs
Mr. Howe took pains to see Mr. Rogers,
who confirmed the above, and stated that on
the night of the disaster, as he ‘lay in his
berth, he overhezird Capt. Tyrrell talking
-with his‘ crew about a steamboat being on
fire some 9'or I0 miles distant; that soon
after'he (Mr. Rogers) went on deck, and
saw the fire himself.

Mo.\'nAv, Feb. 17'.

In the Senate Mr. Dixon, of R. I. present-
ed certain joint rcsolutions passed by the
Legislature of that state, in favor of a r:i_tea-
ble distribution ofthe proceeds of the sales of
public lands, and expressing very. decidedly
their views against other propositions rela-
ting to the national ,dOm€lIll, which have
been under consideration in Congress; a:
moiig them the scheme of Mr. Calhoun.
which in fact, proposes to cede one half of
the proccids of the lands, while the other
half‘ is to be retained by the government.

The resolution having been read, Mr.
Calhoun rose, and complained that the res-
olution gave a representation of the charac-
ter of his measure, which was not conforma-
ble to the fact: and he could not believe that
the .ler_zislatu re of Vermont had ever read .or
seen Iiis bill, but derived these impressions
of its provisions from letter-writers, who, he
thought, dealt with truth as they would with
fiction.

Mr. Dixon replied and defended the legis-
lature of this State. He was followed by
M:-.-ssrs. Clay and Calhoun between whom a
sharp debate ensued. The resolutions, how-
ever, were ordered to be printed.

The House, on tiiotion of Mr. Jones voted
to suspend the. rules for ilie purpose of go-
ing into Committee ofthe VVliole, at one o’-
clock to-uiorrow, to consider the bill making
appropriations for the Pension service for
the year 1840. The committee to sit each
succeeding day until the bill is passed, at one
o'clock.

By general consent, on motion of Mr.
Sergeant, the bill from the Judiciary Commit-
tee, providing for the taking of the sixth
census, was read twice,arid referred to the
Committee of the VVhole on the state on the
Union.

The House then resumed the considera-
tion ofthe resolution to instruct the Commit-
tee of Waysand Means to report a bill mak-
ing appropriations for the States of Chi
Indiana and Illinois. '

Mr. Corwin of Ohio took the floor, and
made a powerful argument in favor of the
object of the resolution, in the course of
which he replied with great ability to the
remarks of Messrs. Pickens, of S. C., and
Parris, of Maine.

In Senate, on Tuesday, the Chair sub-
mitted a resolution of the Legislature of
Iowa, praying the passage of a law to an-
thorize therlection of-the Governor 0: that
Territory by the people, after the term of
the present incumbent shall have expired;
ivliicli was referred to on theJudiciary and or-
dered to be printed. _

A great number of petitions and mcmori
als were presented, many of which prayed
for a duty on silk, and others remonstratcd
agains: the use of bloodhounds in Florida.-

Mr. Pierce, fro-m the Committee on Mili-
tiry Affairs, introduced a bill to equalize
the pay and allowances of the officers of the
line and the slafilof the army, which was or-
dered to a second reading.

The state debt project was further discuss-
ed, and’the Senate adjourned.

In the House, a motion to suspend the
rules, to authorize the reception of petitions
to the Ist of March, was lost. The N. Jer-
sey election case was then taken tip, under
a motion for the priming of documents rela-
tive to it. It was debated till the hour for
the orders of the day. The pension appro-

Business.-—Aftcr a long suspension of
navigation, the rivers have-just been let loose :
steamboats have begun to arrive and depart;
some eight and twenty are in port, most of
them, if not all. ready for business; yet the
only evidences of business that met the eye,
taking in the whole range. of our beautiful
levee, are these; some half-score boxes of
gl issware are going on board the Buffalo,
and perhaps as many tons of pig lead lay on
the wharf, and two drays are engaged haul-
ing it off; further down the wharf; we saw
another dray heading up toivards VVood
street without a load! This is the picture
of business now presented by our wharvcs,
which in former years we have been accus-
tomed to find, at the opening of navigation,
jammed tip with piles and packages ofpro-
duce, domestic manufactures, or merchan-
dise, surrounded by shoals of drays and
carts and busy men. There is a melancho-
ly difference here to be accounted for.

who was present at the convention, holds the
following language: "It would have cheered
you to have witnessed the enthusiasm. unaniiii-

convention. Gentlemen were present from the
most remote parts of the district. all inspired
with the goodness of their cause. I should not
be astonished if the majority was 600 or even
more. Green“ ich, old Democratic Greenwich,
is wide awake. Her farmers are coming nobly
to the work, and although they have every
thing to contend against, their principles and en-
ergies will carry them through IriiiiriphantI_y."

refute the caltimnies and base detractions of a
pensioned pariizan pre.-is, whose devotion to par-
ty idols, and reckless deterniitiation to secure
party success, throw out of View every conside-
ration of moral obligation, and lead to the pub-
liciiy of the most base and wilful falsehoods to-
